Hi again,

Photographed in May of this year, in southern Spain, arid area but with a lot of fruit plantations around.
About 5mm in size.

I'm guessing it belongs to the Reduviidae. Am I wrong again? :)
Is it possible to get to species with this only photo of it?

The curved proboscis is diagnostic for Reduviidae.

Coranus sp., a difficult genus (for me).
With long wings, pattern on abdominal underside and shape of the scutellum mostly possible Coraneus griseus.

Wow, glad I'm back again or else I would have missed ID correction.

Thank you Frank, Graeme and cthirion.
Quite precise ID :)
Maybe even species name. Impressive.

Here is the photo in final edit.
